They got called a bunch for pick routes.

Exactly. All receivers push off, the great ones just don't get caught
I'd have zero problem with the way Gronk plays if he didn't cry for a flag after every incompletion.
well, now I'm convinced
Alshon Jeffrey is actually probably worse than Gronk, but no one watches the Bears if they can help it.
It was a point of emphasis prior to either this season or last, so yeah. Irvin played in an era where OPI didn't exist, essentially.

Ayup, grumpy old erratic man is not just limited to football players. It's not a stretch at all to believe that the general populace has milder forms of CTE.

I know, there should always be a flag when somebody whines like a huge bitch like that.

Skip would love it to be Manziel.
Gronk was penalized 5 times for OPI. The team was penalized 11 times total.
3 were from Martin, 1 from Dobson, 1 from Edelman, and the last one coming from Chandler.
Somebody would have to break out what was picks, but I'm guessing most of Gronk's aren't.
As for game breakdowns:
2 against Jacksonville in 1st and 3rd quarter.
1 against Miami 2nd quarter.
1 against NYG 2nd quarter.
1 against Den 4th quarter.

Unwritten rules!!!!
Not saying Gronk's opis were picks, just clarifying that most of the offensive penalties came from pick plays.
55% were other players (don't know if they were picks, just OPI), 45% are on Gronk.

Steelers were flagged on that play, genius. Flagged for pointing out that your team was cheating for the millionth time.

Kid in the draft named "Jihad Ward". Awesome!
Texans should draft him then they would have Savage Mercilus Jihad

Also, of course they were flagged. They jumped early. However, according to you, there should have been a second flag for your precious rapist and his boys because of "whining like little bitches".
I do wish they would start flagging the incessant whining. It's no longer just a Brady thing. Every route runner in football now throws their arms up and bitches at the closest official on any incompletion and every quarterback immediately cries anytime they are nudged to the ground. Enough is enough. Flag that shit for unsportsmanlike conduct. Make it a loss of down penalty too.

No, I said whenever people whine about there being no flag like a petulant fucking child, that's when a flag should come in.
I´d cosign this.
So play football without WR's. Not sure that is going to work.

Whining is ruining the game
This I can agree on with you. Players doing the flag motion to the ref after they barely gets grazed on the hip just makes me shake my head. Like the flag is more important that actually giving a tad more effort and actually catching the damn ball.
Badgers have been doing it for decades.
I have felt this way about basketball and soccer forever. A large part of the perception of officiating is the players complaining. Make flopping, whining, flag begging all penalties

All whining is like a petulant child
Yep! That´s supposed to be a sport for real men, dying later in dignity from concussions.

I'd be fine with that if the rule was explicitly written for players.
I think more tolerance should be given to coaches for bitching since that's just part of the game. Obviously there's a limit but in a lot of ways it's the coaches job to yell at the refs.
Nothing is inherently "part of the game." We created the game, the game can be changed. I do agree that head coaches should be allowed to bitch at the same rate they do now. They bitch FAR less than players.
Hockey has always done a pretty good job of this. Specifically the whining. If you aren't a captain and you bitch to the ref, take a fucking seat.
They got lax with the diving for a few years but two seasons of cracking down hard have really done a great job of eradicating Ovechkin'ing as well.
Hockey remains the best officiated professional sport in the world....and the worst officiated college sport in the country.

Yeah... it annoys me to no end to see a player getting in a refs face, whining, throwing his hands up -- O'Dell Beckhaming all the way up & down the sideline. I wish refs in both soccer and NFL would straight up eject players for that, just lay down the law once and for all.
So Packers receivers too, right?
Nope. I never say bad things about the Packers or their players so obviously I would omit them from this rule.
Packers don't have any receivers.
There's going to be an overhaul of all this in the offseason. That Blandino was on the radio basically telling the officials to throw out Norman and ODB, and they wouldn't do it, let the league know that big changes are needed
considering the penalty will be called Excessive Davante...
That doesn't stop Rodgers from crying every now and then.
Though it's just as likely for Rodgers to stare at his own player in disgust as it is for him to bitch at the ref. Usually he just incredulously shakes his head and walks away.

If they did start hammering coaches, the Lions would finally have an advantage over somebody in something.
ftfy
Don't throw the ball into double and triple coverage in the endzone.
The refs never call that. Are we going to start looking at holding by linemen on the interior of the line now too?
The Broncos do get away with PI but that is a really bad example of it. Show it on a crossing route or someone running down the sideline. Not on a jump ball in the endzone when the guy is double covered.
It is a much more interesting discussion to talk about the lack of grounding calls on some of Brady's passes when he was being thrown to the ground and he would just fling the ball into the dirt. I think it's bullshit to not call some of those but as with most NFL rules they are written badly enough to support almost any interpretation.
Even more interesting to talk about how the Panthers are cheating. Look at the scoreboard! A fat man with drool on his face told me so!
I actually don't think Russ whines too much about getting calls, at least I can't remember any specific outbursts
Mech that's our QB!! :')
Although will you leave us if you guys get Wentz
I can NEVER leave Russell. He completes me Rando.
